Cloud curtains thick with thunder
Are downward drawn;
Fast rush the rains thereundcr
And drown the dawn.
Nay, storms dense ranks are driven
Far, far away;
Nights robes are rent and riven
BY rising day.
Embattled clouds together
Bolt-burdcned meet;
Yet after suItry weather
The air is sweet.
Then burst your bonds, for after
The fight is won,
Mid Freedoms joyous laughter,
Shall right be done,

the officers OF Che State he and those he
represented would furnish Thorn with
counsel, and shield them from either
harm or cost. II was for this that sev-
cral indictments were found against Mr..
Cooper, who was on his way back TO
England when the indictments were
found.
MIR. Royal has fled his bill, and
asked that rules be issued for the parties
defendant, but they have not rs yet
been placed in the hands OF the mar
shall TO he by him served.
The bill filed in this case is in sub
stance the same as that filed in MIR.
Royals suit, and claims that the law
under which the indictments we're
found is unconstitutional, and that
therefore the grand jury in finding I'M
der it, and others in advising such action,
laid themselves liable 10 damages. The
rules issued in Mr. Royals case we're
made returnable tomorrow, but the
parties defendant have thirty days III
which 10 file their answer.
Both cases will be heard in the spring,
and probably together. Mr.. Royal
states that he will unite with Attorney
General Ayers in trying to get the
drummers' hdbeds-cOrpUs cases, which
go up on an appeal from the decision
Of Judge Bond in releasing them,
heard by the United States Supreme
Conrt at as early day as possible.

Su~cess wins a Prize.

People of to-day are not deceived by
the empty clustering Of unsuccessful
men. Money talks best. Success wins
the prize every time. and the achieve
ments of capital, backed by brains,
counts for more than anything else.
A recent illustration Of this fact is
found in the transfer of the local agency
of the new Emerson Piano, which has
all the latest patented improvements, to
Walter ID. Moses & Co.
This transfer was accomplished by
the voluntary action Of the Emerson
Piano Company, which notified their
former agent that they had turned their
agency, on January Dist, over to Wal
ter ID. Moses & Co. This step was
taken on account Of the high reputa-
ton of this firm as the most reliable
and successful dealers in Musical In
struments in Richmond. The firm ac-
cepted the agency because they knew
that the reputation of this popular
piano is so well established as not only
to call for no comment, but because
they knew that they have facilities for
handling pianos superior to any other
firm, and on more satisfactory terms to
suit customers.
1t will therefore pay the purchaser
to call and compare our prices for
the Emerson and other Pianos with
those offered by dealers in this or
in any other city in the United
States. We are the only authorized
agents for the Emerson Piano Compa-
ny, and the only house carrying stock
of the New Emerson Piano. Call and
try one.

This story of the clustering cowboy
out West stabbed in the eye with a Gil
lead-pencil in the hands OF draughts-
man may be true or not, but the hard
point of such pencils and the merits of
the "yarn can be substantiated If you
call on Salo. j. Binswanger, No. 210
Broad street, who sells these hart pen
ellis and the reverse hardness, running
up to the BIS, in connection with Il
full line Of such goods. But that black
eye" could have been handsomely deco
rated with nice tube colors in oil and
waterif the order had been telegraphed
to S. J. Binswanger, dealer in Artists
Colors and Draughtmen's Supplies.
Candidly, | do not believe that pencil
story, despite what could have been "or
might have happened. l."
1t is just as likely as the fact of the
shipment of a plate glass as large as the
side of four-foor house, chronicled
some time since, and which you would
not believe after seeing Photographic
dry-plates as small as 3fx4l, or window
glass in small sizes up to largest sheet,
used, that are sold at S. j. Binswanger's,
No. 210 east Broad street, in addition
to all the little and big things of the
house, sign, and coach-painter's wants

WAS HE MURDERED:
Rumor That G0Ode. Instead OF
Browning. Was FOUlly
DenIt with.

Sunday morning, January 23d, as
stated in the Disp0tch of the Tuesday
following, while Sheriff SOuthward, of
Henrico county, with several other gen
tlemen were walking down near the
Chesapeake and Ohio wharves, they
found in the river a mans body that
had foated ashore, and which was
identified as that of James Goode (col-
ored). An inquest was at once held by
Squire Alice, and the jury found "a YER
dict of accideptal drowning.
The day before the body was found
Goode and several other men were en-
gagged unloading pig-iron from fiat-cars.
GOode, who was a resident of the coun-
ty, disappeared mysteriorsly and was
not heard of until his body was found.
The suppositiOn was that while at work
he fell into the river and was drowned,
Lut no one heard any alarm from him.
In the back of his head was found q
hole that was believed to have been
made by striking against something in
falling.
Within the last few days umors of
foul play have been circulated, and it
has been suggested that the hole in
Goodies head was made by formula
BILE weapon in the hand of some other
person, and not by striking against
something in falling. Several of
the county officials and promi-
nent citizens expressed the opin-
ion yesterday that there is nothing
III the rumor. 1t is probable, how
ever, that another jury of inquest
will meet in day or two, probably to-
morrow, to inquire into the matter and
test the strength of the circumstance
which have given rise to the report.
The circumstances point to apalty who
is under surveillance.

The question is frequently asked,
Why 10 you sell your shoes so cheap
when you expect to continue in the
same line of business? Our answer is,
As there will be an entire change in the
firm-namely, Mr.. Gerson Heller, of
Raleigh, n. c., will be associated with
the new firm of Heller & Co., 81 east
Broad street, where We propose to open
about March LIST with an entire new
stock of Shoes, Trunks, Satchels, &c.,
orders having been placed with some of
the leading manufacturers in Boston,

general public in the cause OF charity,
but the charity funds Of the Society

The Ashland correspondent of the
Dispatch writes as follows:
Mr.. J. G. Martin, Jr., son OF Rev. J.
G. Martin, of Richmond, has been made
editor of the Randolph Macon Month
IN. one of the best college literary maya
zines published. This is quite an honor
for 80 youpg a man, and from the ability
he has shown as associate editor he VIII
prove an able journalist.
Mrs. Crawford. mother OF Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, has given a hand
some sum to the Young Mems Christian
Association of the college. In addition
to this, she also presented fine impe-
rial cabinet picture OF Bishop McTyeire.
The librarian, Captain Richard 1rby, Is
endeavoring to secure portraits OF all
the presidents of the college, and has
thus far secured several.
Quite a spirit of rivalry is developing
itself among the members Of the
senior Greek class. Messrs. Riddick
and Martin, of Richmond, Ray, Walden,
and Patton will try for the prize
awarded by the Walton Fund" 1t
would be difficult to find five more
thorough Greek scholars, and the man
who bears off the laurels in June will
be a great honor to the institution.
The combined talent of Richmond
and Ashland is to figure here Thursday

Frequent contributions are being
added to the endowment fund, and 1t
is probable that the amount will be
raised to $50, 900 by another year.
News has been received of the illness

Page, of Danville, at the home of her
sister in Fairfax county.

A MIDNIGHT BLAZE.
Three frame Dwellings on Eigh.
teeuth street Damaged by Fire.

A fire occurred last night shortly
after midnight, which resulted in the
partial burning of three houses on
north Eighteenth street. 1t is not
known how the fire originated, but one
of the occupants of sos says he "was
awakened by his wife and looked out
of the window and found the back
porch to be in a blaze"
All three were frame buildings, and
the fire resulted more in inconvenience
to the families turned summarily out
of doors into the damp night than in
actual damage to property.
The three houses injured by the
flames were Nos. SOC, sos, and 80.
The first was occupied by Mrs. Cathe-
rine Wright and owned by John Ster-
ling; the second was occupied by
James Bradshaw and James Curry and
their families and owned by Mrs. John
ston; and the third was occupied 10y
Mrs Risk and owned by Mrs. Ann
Mckinley.
The total loss will not amount to
more than $1,000, a part of which is
covered by insurance.
Only one alarm was turned in, but
Chief Fuqua found it necessary to call
out an extra engine to take the place of
one which failed to work well.
